Wayne,

Yes, as all have said, I nice WU 100.  Made by Underwood I believe.  They had to move the platen instead of the carriage and have two sets of Kybd contacts to get around Teletypes patent.  I least thats what I was told by other WU techs in the 1970's.  

In the movie "Ace In The Hole" with Kirk Douglas there was a model 100 featured prominently as Kirk was a reporter who dragged out the rescue of a trapped miner for his own purposes.  A pretty good movie.  

I guess I had better use my call sign as I forgot there are two Wayne's on the list.  

73,

Wayne
